Pictures ITEC 2017

Just some pictures to show how well the Marder is modelled in steelbeats.

Unfortunately, they also show, that 10+ year of no maintenance are not very good for a vehicle turret(in this case an old turret simulator)

We had a similar system for night operation in AMX 30, pre-planned points for blind firing.

There was an other on the gun assembly for elevation.

If eny showed himself on say crossroad 3, turn turret to planned angular, elevate the gun to match the range, and fire!

Spot on!! ?  Together with the elevation scale you can point out targets to the gunner at night. Also helps wiht fire-control during the day.

 

Its not so much an issue for nightfighting wiht the 1A3(since it has a TIS), but its good to have a backup. If the TIS fails, the TC still has his "Lucy" to see in the dark ....

well sure, but how does it work?

is it somehow attached to the turret ring? or is it attached to the hull? 

 

 Its attached to the turret ring, and you have a reference marker that is attached to the hull's 12 o'clock position.
